• Abstract: We examine the conditions under which the solution of the radial stationary Schr\"odinger equation for the sextic anharmonic oscillator can be expanded in terms of Hermite functions. We find that this is possible for an infinite hierarchy of potentials discriminated by the parameter setting the strength of the centrifugal barrier. The $N$'th member of the hierarchy involves $N$ solutions for $N$ generally different values of the energy. For a particular member of the hierarchy, there exist infinitely many bound states with square integrable wave functions, written in terms of the Hermite functions, which vanish at the origin and at infinity. These bound states correspond to distinct values of the parameter setting the strength of the harmonic term. We also investigate connection with the polynomial solutions of the sextic oscillator obtained from the formalism of quasi-exactly solvable potentials.

  We show how a laser driven two-level system can be decoupled into a set of equations acting only on the external degrees of freedom for each state. We give a way of characterizing the solvability of this family of problems by appealing to a classical oscillator with time-dependent damping. We show that chirping of the driving fields phase emerges naturally as a means of compensating the Ehrenfest/mean-value part of the detuning operator's dynamics.

  A structure composed of two parallel homogeneous layers is studied in the limit as their widths $l_j$ and $l_j$, and the distance between them $r$ shrinks to zero simultaneously. The existence of non-trivial bound states is proven in the squeezing limit, including the particular example of the squeezed potential in the form of the derivative of Dirac's delta function. The scenario how a single bound state survives in the squeezed system from a finite number of bound states in the finite system is described in detail.
